    Default Best bushcraft sandwich?

    After reading the last BCUK Mag I thing that the Yanks are trying to make the wrong ultimate MERC Sandwich with the PB and J!

    They should be making PB & M!

    Peanuts Butter and Marmite!

    peanutbutter and sambal oelek with extra butter

    ... I don't know if sambal is actually an English word. but just in case: it's an indonesian spice.

    I'm rather fond of PB + Marmite + tomato ketchup, with a good grind of black pepper.

    Freshly grilled squirrel liver with bacon and a not too runny egg. Dust with black pepper and down with a steaming cup of tea.

    Peanut butter is only fit to make sauce and gravy unlike Marmite which is the ultimate on hot buttered toast

    Brown bread, fresh butter and the first cleavers or fat hen or bittercress of the year.
    Failing that, I like strawberry jam and strong red cheddar

    As a kid I thought that the best sandwich was "supper sandwich" an invention of my own.
    Take two toppers or crusts from the end of a mothers pride white thick cut loaf. Toast lightly and spread with butter (margarine will not do) re-toast until the butter has melted, soaked in, and the bread has gone grispy and golden, then coat thinly with Bovril, add thin slices of hard cheddar cheese, grill until the cheese is melting, spread with peanut butter (crunchy) put the two slices together and eat with a mug of Cadburys hot chocolate.

    As I am now older and supposedly wiser I forgo that for streaky bacon, with melted brie and (popped) poached egg breakfast baguette, two mugs of black coffee, (and absolutely nothing to do until my body has recovered from eating breakfast, this takes no more than 4 hours, which would be about lunch time and too late to start anything too taxing)

    A potentialBurger is the ultimate! but that´s not a sandwich.
    bread, couple of burgers, mushrooms, egg, onions, lettuce, bacon, cheese, curry, mayonaise, tomato, piccles, stack it up and digg in

    I've posted elsewhere about ultimate butties;
    ...round of bread, buttered - topped with
    ..Crispy bacon and red sauce, topped with
    ..another round of bread buttered both sides, topped with
    ..fried sausages, split lengthways and cooked on the inside as well, topped with
    ..a proper fried egg, none of your shop bought free ranch nonsense, topped with
    ..brown sauce and another round of bread!!!!

    If you eat it in a quiet room you can actually hear your arteries hardening!


    However, this being a Bushcraft forum, I doubt anything could rival a bacon butty served in camp cooked bread, first thing in the morning so that the smell wafts through the entire campsite

    I’d say you were well on the way to your own TV show!

    Not at all sure about the “hot chocolate” though.

    More importantly, you need to brew beer first to make it

    Roast pork, Crackling, applesauce and a light layer of mayo with a light dusting of pepper (preferebly in a crispy roll but still good in a sandwich)

    washed down with a jug of scrumpy

    sounds sooooooooooooooooo much nicer than PB + Marmite + tomato ketchup, with a good grind of black pepper.

    Sounds great but does it keep the mozzies and midges away? But then again after the jug of scrumpy do you really give a damm.

    Best sandwich I ever had (and my friend concurs that it was his best ever also) was a slowly smoked pork sandwich. The pork was rubbed with a mix of freshly ground Hawaiian salt, sea salt and black pepper and dipped in a citrus marinade of lemon, lime, orange juices (fresh squeezed, of course) with a lot of minced garlic and a little salt and pepper.

    The pork was then slow smoked using Kiawe (I think it is a type of Hawaiian mesquite) to about a medium well. Sliced very thin and left in the juices that squirted out of it while it was sliced. Toasted bread, but I forget what kind of bread I used that day, but it was rubbed with raw garlic after toasting. Then I put a citrus mayonaise on the bread. It was mayonaise with lemon, lime and orange juice mixed in with fresh ground salt and fresh ground black pepper.

    Thin slices of pork piled on about a inch and a half thick and it was the best sandwich I have ever had. My friend keeps hinting at having it again.
